The MAC - The Napa Valley Museum of Art & Culture
In spring 2025, more than 50 years after its founding, the Napa Valley Museum unveiled a new flagship location with an expanded reprise of its highly praised exhibition about chef Julia Child that toured nationally for several years. The show (which runs until early March 2026) and another to follow about three generations of Wyeth family artists (through mid-September 2026) are typical of the temporary exhibitions presented in the largest of three galleries totaling 4,000 square feet. The MAC shares a warehouselike space 1½ miles south of Main Street's shops and restaurants with Under-study, a gourmet marketplace with coffee and prepared foods from the team at Press Napa Valley next door. The museum's well-curated shows often surprise with their cultural insights or the artistry involved.
